The event, sponsored by Jersey Mike’s Subs of Long Beach, begins at 4 pm, with the No. 4 state-ranked Long Beach women playing at 5 pm, followed by the No. 17 Viking men at 7 pm.

Halftime of each game will feature a fundraising free throw shootout. Associate Vice President of Human Resources Cindy Vyskocil will take on Human Resources Specialist Crystal McCutcheon during the women’s break while Director of Athletics Joe Cascio will challenge Director of District Facilities Tim Wootton at the men’s halftime. Individuals and groups can pledge any amount per free throw or a lump sum towards each player to help raise funds.
